AC Replacement & Installation in Denver: what's different
Many older Denver homes were built without central air, and hotter summers have made AC installation one of the most common upgrades. Installers often add a coil to the existing furnace and run refrigerant lines to an outdoor unit.
Original ductwork in bungalows may be undersized for cooling, so return-air upgrades are common. Some homeowners choose a cold-climate heat pump instead, gaining efficient winter heating as well.
Ask whether a cold-climate heat pump would work for your home instead of a straight AC. In Denver it can handle much of the heating season too, which may offset part of the cost. Also ask whether the installer accounts for altitude in equipment ratings and confirms ductwork can handle the airflow.
